“I Was Dating Emma Nyra” — Ubi Franklin Finally Reveals

The
newly engaged Ubi Franklin has responded by finally revealing that he
and Emma Nyra were actually an item. “I was dating Emma Nyra and the
relationship didn’t go as I thought it should have gone” he candidly
revealed in an interview with The Cable.

Ubi
Franklin who normally shies away from the media was candid about his
affair with his artiste Emma Nyra, and the drama it caused. “When you’re
dating somebody and you are the boss, there are things you can’t tell
your wife or your girlfriend. But if you say it to an employee you are
dating, they tend to misbehave. Like, if you tell the others to do
something, they will obey without thinking about it. It’s not only me
but it has happened to a lot of people, but that is the business lesson
I’ve learnt in my life…” he said.

“That
relationship made me cut off a lot of people and it also made me feel
like everybody wanted the same ‘cake’ I was having. I spent a lot of
time trying to beef people when I am not supposed to. It really dealt me
a big blow. I decided in the end that it doesn’t make any sense and we
both understood that and moved on” he further stated.

He
also mentioned on how he has invested a whole lot more into Emma Nyra’s
career than Iyanya who is the flagship act of the label. “I don’t think
that I have spent as much money on Iyanya as I’ve spent on Emma Nyra.
Emma has like nine videos at about N3.5m” he revealed. Ubi Franklin also
said that when it’s time for Emma Nyra to blow up she would, and
everything is down to God’s timing.

Ubi
also recounted how he met his fiancée, Nollywood actress Lilian Esoro.
He said he had been seeing her around over the years, but he started
talking to her last year, a few months ago at a friend’s party. The
label boss said he told her he was going to marry her the first day they
met.

Ubi
Franklin met Lilian Esoro after he stopped dating Emma Nyra. He praised
the virtues of his wife-to-be during the interview. “She’s everything I
can ever ask God for. She’s very brilliant, she can cook. She’s usually
quiet and more reserved. She’s not one of those actresses who are just
out there and all over the place. She’s very subtle with everything she
does.“
